EDITORIAL: MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT

Once again, within less than a month, Oakland residents are being given the
opportunity to make history. On April 17th, Bobby Seale shocked most of the
city and all the nation by decisively defeating a field of seven mayoral candidates
and forcing the incumbent, Mayor John Reading, into a run-off.

On Tuesday, May 15th, Oakland residents have the choice of consolidating the
April 17th people's victory, or tossing it to the wind. With Watergate and Nixon
in the air all about us, this is no time for dallying with a proven people's
victory.

Those who have contributed their efforts, abilities, their time and their money
to the Bobby Seale People's Campaign, have done so out of a conviction that
it IS possible to make democracy work; that politics does NOT have to be dirty;
that the people DO care, and, given the opportunity, will let their voice be
heard, make their vote count.

The results of the April 17th election proved them right. Those results, however,
contained a great disappointment. They revealed that an estimated 50,000 Black
and Spanish speaking registered voters of Oakland did not even bother to cast
their votes.

We are convinced that first among the several reasons this 50,000 souls did
not vote was the belief that Bobby could not win and that there was no one else
worth voting for. If this is true, it means that this sizeable block of Oakland
voters are overwhelmingly Bobby Seale supports who allowed themselves to be
taken in by the Prophets of Doom.

We predicted in this space that these "prophets" would be proven
wrong. That they were proven wrong, with 50,000 Black and Spanish speaking registered
voters remaining home on April 17th, should convince the worse sceptic that
Bobby Seale CAN win on May 15th.

Since April 17th, Bobby Seale, Elaine Brown and a greatly enlarged army of
campaign workers have concentrated their efforts throughout Oakland in reaching
these 50,000 people for a face-to-face discussion of the issues and their solutions.

If the Black and oppressed community of Oakland allows the opportunity to gain
a voice in the reigns of government in Oakland to slip by, the blame will lay
heavily on its own shoulders. Your vote may make the difference. Before doing
anything else on Tuesday, vote to elect Bobby Seale Mayor of Oakland.

Watergating plagues US

May 2nd, 1972, is never mentioned in connection with the Watergate scandal.
Yet, it is the crucial date. J. Edgar Hoover, long-time Czar of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, died on that date. The friend Nixon called "a
legend in his time" had been the country's number 1 cop through the administrations
of eight Presidents over a period of 48 years.

The death of Hoover was sudden, unexpected and unprepared for. His death left
the monster that had been created under his direction up for grabs. That monster
has become the largest, most modern and most efficient spying operation in the
world. It puts ALL the dirt on every official at the finger tips of the man
who controls it. Watergate represents the bungling in-fighting of the puppets
of this country's ruling elite for control of this monster.

While the country's crime statistics steadily rose over this past half century,
the people's freedoms were as steadily whittled away. And, the Nixon "legend",
the country's top "crimebuster", rose to unassailable power. The Black
Panther Party has had first hand experience with Hoover's monster. So has every
genuine people's movement in America since the first term of President Franklin
D. Roosevelt.

The issue is not how high UP Watergate goes. The issue is how far DOWN watergating
goes. The bug on our telephones, and yours, is the issue; that gigantic computerized
bank of information in FBI files on the tens of millions of John and Mary Does
who dared to exercise their right to speak out or act in the people's interests.

Watergate is nothing new. It's an old practice coming to the light of day and
the American people know this; particularly those of us who are its most persistent
victims. The rest want so vehemently to believe that it is not happening to
them, that it can't happen to them, that they make themselves disbelievers.
The treatment of Watergate by the mass media encourages this national self-deception.

We refuse to be deceived. We sympathize with those who got caught in the act,
the executors who were merely carrying out orders from above. Why should they
be made the scapegoats? If all the executors all the way up the pyramid refused
to be scapegoats, then perhaps we would really get to the actual culprits.

Watergating will continue in this country as long as people's power is a mere
fiction. Not until actual people's power is won will watergating cease.

That is what Bobby Seale's campaign for Mayor of Oakland is
about. Incumbent Mayor John Reading's open industry/banking alignments, his
consistent and unqualified support for Nixon and his lone vote cast in the Oakland
City Council against the Seale/Brown Anti-Secrecy in Government ordinance, place
him on the side of the Watergate defenders.

His opponent, our candidate, Bobby Seale, stands on the side of the people's
defenders. To begin to bring an end to watergating throughout this land, vote
for Bobby Seale on May 15th and build genuine people's movements towards People's
Power across the land.

66% SUPPORT BOBBY FOR MAYOR

The Community Committee to Elect Bobby Seale Mayor of Oakland moved the whirlwind
campaign even closer to the day of People's Victory by increasing the number
of precinct workers canvassing the community in a final thrust toward May 15th.
All efforts are geared towards reaching at least 50,000 people who did not vote
on April 17th and convincing each one to vote for Bobby Seale on May 15th.

This goal is being accomplished by nearly 400 precinct workers who canvass
house to house on a daily basis in individual precincts explaining Bobby's program
to the registered Democrats in that precinct. While in the precincts, the organizers
conduct a poll on the response and support Bobby has in the community. At present,
66% of all the people questioned say that they will come out and vote for the
people's representative, Bobby Seale. The result of hard work by a dedicated
crew of workers is outstanding. So far nearly 40,000 people in Oakland have
talked to a precinct worker.

Two large meetings of the campaign precinct workers were held this past Saturday.
At both Bobby discussed with the workers their precinct work, emphasizing the
correct methods to be used. At the first meeting, held at Grove Street Community
College, over 100 campaign workers from North and West Oakland met in the school's
large gymnasium. Though most were young men and women, all age groups were represented;
there were Blacks, Whites, and Mexican-Americans there. Bobby conducted a question-and-answer
session during which ideas were exchanged on problems incurred while doing precinct
work. One of the problems was the fact that at many houses visited no one was
home. Bobby stressed the

-- 12 --
importance of trying to spend as much time as possible precincting
in the evening after people have returned from work or school.

At the second meeting precinct workers from East Oakland crowded in the large
meeting room at Allen Temple Church. Again the ages and races varied considerably.
Ideas on different and creative methods of approaching and convincing people
of the necessity of getting out to vote for Bobby Seale were examined.

Bobby spoke of special problems that would have to be handled on May 15th.
That is the day of the month that persons who are welfare recipients receive
their checks. Transportation will be provided for these recipients, from places
where they cash their checks to the polls, and then to wherever they must go.

Earlier that week Bobby had attended two large rallies in support of his candidacy
at the University of California in Berkeley and at Grove Street College. On
Monday, a crowd of over 1,000 students assembled in the bright sunshine at the
expansive Sproul Plaza on the University of California campus in Berkeley which
borders Oakland, to listen to Bobby speak.

Explaining why Berkeley students should support his Oakland campaign, Bobby
said the outcome of the race in Oakland can influence the course of events throughout
America and the world. Many students there volunteered to work in the campaign.
While leaving the Plaza this reporter asked a student whether she planned to
help out in the campaign. She looked affronted and said, "Of course I am.
This is the best thing I've seen happen since I've been here."

The following day a similar rally was held at the Grove Street College where
several hundred students came out to hear Bobby Seale and respond to questioning.
Many students on the Grove Street campus are already working in the campaign,
and many more signed up after the rally.

Bobby was also active during the week, doing precinct work, riding the buses
in the morning, going to laundramats and other places where the people gather,
to talk with them. The people now show even more enthusiasm than before the
primary. Typical responses are: "I voted for you last time, and I'll vote
for you again"; "People are going to come out more this time, because
now it's just you and Reading."

CORETTA KING ENDORSES BOBBY

A message of support from Coretta Scott King, widow of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., provided a resounding chord of solidarity and unity around Bobby
Seale's campaign to become Mayor of Oakland as his May 15th, run-off election
with conservative incumbent John Reading rapidly approaches. Mrs. King's endorsement
tops the growing list of individual and organizational endorsements.

They include such well known individuals as Andrew Young, recently elected
Black representative from Georgia and member of the Congressional Black Caucus,
Black actor Ossie Davis, Willie Brown, California State Assemblyman from Los
Angeles and Mervyn Dymally, State Senator from the San Francisco Bay Area.

The National Black Assembly and the Comite Popular, a progressive alliance
of Chicano people, are among organizations recently endorsing Bobby Seale. Radio
station KDIA, largest Black-oriented station in the Bay Area, has announced
its endorsement of Bobby Seale and is presently playing their endorsement across
the airwaves six times daily.

These new pledges of support are added to the already announced endorsements
of a number of Black political leaders. These include Rep. Ron Dellums (D.-Calif.),
Jesse Jackson, president of P.U.S.H. (People United To Save Humanity) and Lloyd
A. Barbee, Wisconsin State Assemblyman from Milwaukee's predominately Black
5th Ward.

Just this past week Bobby met with Cesar Chavez, the courageous and highly
respected Director of the United Farm Workers Union, in a widely publicized
and warm display of solidarity and support at Oakland's Grove Street College.
(See article page 5)

Organizations recently endorsing the People's Candidate include, the C.B.S.
(Columbia Gardens, Brookfield and Sobrante Park) Democratic Club, the San Francisco
Council of Democratic Clubs, Parishioners United for Political Action and the
Northern California Federation of Young Democrats. The National Black Assembly's
endorsement comes following their spring convention in Detroit and at the urging
of the local California State Caucus of the Black Assembly. Other organizational
endorsements have included the American Federation of Teachers (AFT)- Oakland
Branch; the S.F. Black Caucus and the Alice B. Toklas Democratic Club, the only
gay Democratic club in the country.

The April 17th Oakland municipal election has placed the people's candidate
Bobby Seale in the run-off position against the Republican incumbent, John Reading,
for the office of Mayor. The final election is to take place on May 15th. During
the campaign, other candidates attempted, through slanderous remarks and scare
tactics, to discredit Bobby and frighten voters against voting for him.

In their unjust attacks, however, they did not include the program Bobby Seale
and Elaine Brown had formulated. They could not. The Seale/Brown 14 Point Plan
to Rebuild Oakland could not be undermined. It was this program that the people
voted for when they placed a mark on the ballot beside Bobby Seale's name.

The first part of the Seale/Brown Program, the 7-point Revenue Raising Plan,
when combined with Oakland's $4.5 million in annual revenue sharing funds, would
add $22 million yearly to the city without having to raise homeowner property
taxes over the next four years. The 7-Point Revenue Raising Plan consists of:

(1) A 5% capital gains tax on the transfer of income property and property
of large corporations. This progressive measure would tap the profits large
business receive from their sale or transfer. $4.5 million can be raised in
this way.

(2) Reinvestment of the city budget reserves and fund balances in banks that
pay at least 6% interest rather than the 5% the city now collects. The $20 million
now known to be held in this way equals an additional $200,000 if reinvested.

(3) A 1% tax on intangible stocks and bonds. This minimal tax, with a basic
$7,000 exemption across the board, adds $10.5 million to available city funds.

(4) An increase of fees at the two city-owned golf courses by 50%, which would
add up to $250,000 yearly.

(5) An increase in the rental fees paid by the Oakland Coliseum owners (who
certainly can afford it) to cover the $750,000 in construction bonds the Reading
administration is currently paying.

(6) A residency requirement for Oakland police and firemen, 70% of whom currently
live outside of Oakland. This would bring over $15 million back into the general
economy of the city, and approximately $1 million into the city budget itself.

(7) A tax placed on so-called "public utilities", like Southern Pacific
Railroad and others, which would bring at least $500,000 annually, depending
on the tax rate imposed.

What all this amounts to is that $17.7 million in Revenue Raising funds, when
combined with Oakland's $4.5 million in revenue sharing monies, equals a total
of $22.2 million -- over 1/4 of the present city budget. These funds would be
directly accessible for use in meeting pressing community and city needs. In
fact, the other half of the Seale/Brown 14 Point Plan to Rebuild Oakland would
use the funds obtained from revenue raising to implement and develop major community
programs, along with financing certain vital city service.

VOTE MAY 15th

These are:

1. Street Lighting and Street Repair

2. Environmental and Consumer Protection

3. Preventative Medical Health Care

4. Child Care

5. S.A.F.E. (Seniors Against A Fearful Environment) - A program to protect
Oakland's elderly against muggings

6. Housing Rehabilitation

7. Education Improvement

Bobby's plans for the people of Oakland also include an Economic Development
Project, the construction of a Multi-Ethnic International Cultural and Trade
Center, which would be community-owned and operated. The center will include
a variety of stores and shops, permanent and temporary exhibition halls and
areas, restaurants, theaters and movie houses, an auditorium and conference
areas, outdoor plaza areas for relaxation and fun and an interantional hotel.

Bobby and Elaine's program can not be attacked; no other candidate has formulated
anything similar to it. It was this program that the people of Oakland voted
for on April 17th. It is this same People's Program that the voters will endorse
on May 15th, by placing Bobby Seale in the Mayor's seat in Oakland, California.

U.F.W. GRAPE STRIKE: TEAMSTERS-GROWER CONSPIRACY CONDEMNED

The nationwide work strike and boycott of table grapes called by Cesar Chavez
and the United Farm Workers Union (UFW) has begun. The strike and boycott was
instituted in answer to the racist collusion of the Teamsters Union and agricultural
growers in their efforts to destroy the farm-workers' movement.

The Teamsters Union has signed "Sweetheart contracts" with the agricultural
growers. This means that when the UFW sought to bring adequate and meaningful
representation to farmworkers, the Teamsters Union stepped in as a third force,
acting as an agent for agribusiness, and after using methods such as coercion,
brutality and lies, they signed contracts with the growers "in the name
of" the farmworkers.

Many grape growers, holding UFW contracts that had expired, would not renew
their contracts with the union. Instead, they actively encouraged the Teamsters
to invade their fields and terrorize farmworkers. The growers would then say
that UFW contracts could not be renewed because the farmworkers preferred Teamster
Union affiliation.

Even before the present circumstances, the UFW waged a bitter struggle against
the grape growers and the Teamsters Union. In 1965, wages in the table grape
industry were a meager $1.00 an hour. Farmworker's had no protection or benefits
at all. Cesar Chavez, Director of the UFW, led a five year strike and boycott
against these conditions.

On July 29, 1970, after five years of intensive struggle the largest table
grape growers signed UFW contracts. In those contracts the UFW won wage increases
and vast improvements in working conditions for farmworkers.

Now, however, in 1973, the agricultural growers are reneging and the Teamsters
are up to their old racist tricks. The UFW had no choice left open to it except
to renew the grape boycott and strike. Cesar Chavez has made it quite clear
that this nationwide grape boycott and strike will continue for as long as it
takes to defeat the growers-Teamsters maneuvers.

VOTE
MAY 15th

It will not be easy. Already, Teamsters goons, reportedly receiving $67 a day
to harass and intimidate striking farmworkers, are being brought to the grape
fields from big cities. Just a few weeks ago over 278 strikers have been arrested
by police. Hired thugs have tried to provoke strikers while "law officials"
stood by and watched.

Although this new grape boycott and strike will be difficult to maintain, the
UFW has proven that it is more than equal to the challenge. Far from fighting
alone, the UFW and the farmworkers are receiving massive support. Bill Kircner,
National Director of Organization for the AFL-CIO has promised the total support
of the powerful 13 million members of the National Labor Federation. The International
Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union, which has a history of struggle against
the Teamsters Union itself, has also voiced support for the UFW.

Cesar Chavez has called for a federal investigation into the grower-Teamster
conspiracy to destroy the Union. He also sent letters to growers, challenging
them to hold fair, secret ballot elections. If the growers refuse, it will prove
they are trying to force farmworkers into a union they don't want. If they agree,
they will lose just the same.

United Farm Workers leader Cesar Chavez pledged last week to send into Oakland
a group of his area Union members to assist Bobby Seale's campaign for Mayor.
The respected leader of the predominantly Mexican-American farm workers reaffirmed
his support for Bobby's candidacy during a meeting with the People's Candidate,
last Wednesday at Grove Street Community College in North Oakland. Brother Chavez
was in Oakland speaking at several colleges about the new grape boycott the
farm workers had recently launched and the overall plight of the Mexican-American
people.

After Cesar spoke the two advocates of people's rights met in the larger conference
room and discussed Bobby's campaign for Mayor as a crowd of their supporters
and the press gathered around. Cesar asked Bobby about the progress of the campaign,
what problems he was encountering and how well the process of organizing the
community was going. In turn, Bobby asked Brother Chavez about the progress
of the grape and lettuce boycott and the boycott of Safeway Food Stores. Though
using different tactics to serve their people, both understood the undeniable
bond of their struggles. Soon after their conversation the two leaders were
filmed for a TV endorsement spot for the campaign.

A teacher at the Malcolm X Elementary School in Berkeley requested that Bobby
and Cesar come outside to meet and talk to her class. She had brought students
to the school to hear Brother Chavez. The two people's leaders went outside
and shook hands with each child as they shyly passed by. Cesar warmly reminded
the young group not to eat grapes or lettuce, and told of the Farm Workers Union's
support of Bobby.

As he was leaving, Cesar pledged that a group of Bay Area Union members would
come to Oakland to aid the campaign committee during the last few days before
the May 15th run-off. Bobby asked Cesar how he and his campaign workers could
aid the union's boycott. He replied, "The most important thing you can
do now is to channel all of your forces into the campaign and win the election
for all of us."

SOUTHERN U.-L.S.U. MERGER: IS QUALITY EDUCATION THE STATE'S GOAL?

(New Orleans, La.) - Repression continues to mount at predominately Black Southern
University as Louisiana state and college officials conspire with the government's
mass media to hide current activities. Southern U's New Orleans campus is the
scene of vehementstudent opposition to a proposed merger of the New Orleans
campus with largely white Louisiana State University. Also, the New Orleans
campus is the home of a tripled security guard force, heavily placed at the
administrative building and in administrative offices. Student leaders are threatened,
harassed, and constantly followed while on campus.

Meanwhile, totalitarian type measures including South African style card carrying
practices are the order of the day at Southern's Baton Rouge campus, cite of
the November 16th State Police murders of two unarmed Black students. After
signing a loyalty oath to the school, students are required to present two identification
cards, one issued since November 16th, before gaining entrance to the campus.

The Black Panther Party's New Orleans Chapter, interviewing some of the New
Orleans campus students, noted the students' outrage at the proposed merger
with LSU. "Impossible!" remarked one brother, "I don't think
the students will let them merge." Another brother volunteered, "There
is a unique service that the predominantely Black schools serve to the kids
coming out of high school."

"I am totally against it. We provide services to the Black community that
could not be gotten from LSU, a merger would promote more white oriented values",
said one sister. "It's unwise," a brother explained, "White people
aren't ready realistically to face the problems of Black people. Black people
are really becoming aware of their problems and they want to assume responsibility
for their problems. They want to be able to control their own community. They
want to be able to develop leadership. There will be too much opposition at
LSU to the kinds of things needed in the Black community."

A statement by Southern U's Black Student Union speaks for the Black students
concerning the merger and education:

"Change is inevitable but this does not mean all change is for the benefit
of the entire society, it can be constructive or destructive. The change forseen
for predominately Black SUNO (Southern U at New Orleans) in the way of merger
with white LSU (Louisiana State U., New Orleans) is a form of destructive change
to Black institutions of higher learning.

"One may ask, what exactly is a Black institution of higher learning?
This writer feels that it is any, not necessarily Southern University or college,
whose primary goal is to educate to free not only the body from poverty through
jobs, but the minds of the students. For what good is a free body if the mind
is imprisoned. In other words, education should be a process of learning to
think for one self. This will ultimately be beneficial for all.

"White institutions are not geared to this goal. Their aim is to send
many young productive minds into capitalistic society, where the rich get richer
and the poor get poorer. I am against the way it is presently operated in this
country to benefit a select few. Through sincere Blacks, Black institutions
are making attempts to get away from this line of thinking. It is up to us to
see that the goal is reached - education of the young for the betterment of
all.

"There are many questions that have yet to be answered for the public
by the advocates of the merger. Where will be approximately 3,000 students of
SUNO be placed if the merger does occur? SUNO is presently overcrowded, how
can the campus accomodate any more students? If the student campus is to be
used to accomodate students already in attendance there, would this not be exactly
what occurs now, separate but equal, which initially opened SUNO almost 15 years
ago? Now that it has begun to show potential as a relevant institution for Blacks,
is its operation to be terminated? What cultural considerations will Blacks
receive in the planning of extra-curricular and social activities of the school?

(Atlanta, Georgia) - The Afro-American Patrolman's League headed a group of
Atlanta Blacks in filing suit against the Atlanta Police Department. The League
is seeking an end to discriminatory hiring practices and $20 million in damages
for Black people. Following two slayings of young Blacks by White policemen
and the exposure of one as a murder, the class action suit asked for a Federal
court injunction. The plaintiffs asked that:

All federal funds to the Atlanta Police Department (APD) he halted, including
$4 million in federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) funds
until discrimination in APD hiring is ended.

Any employment practice that allows or mandates racial discrimination be immediately
changed. All hiring of new police officers be held up until a review of any
Black applicants for the last five years is made by an unbiased judging body.

Black officers, long employed at larger paying, lower rank positions, be promoted
on the basis of seniority.

$20 million be awarded to the Black citizens of Atlanta who have suffered at
the hands of APD's abuses for so long.

Although well over half of Atlanta's population is Black, less than a quarter,
22% of the city's policemen are Black. Discriminatory exams and racist police
training division instructors eliminate most of the qualified applicants. Once
on the force, Black policemen are still patrolmen long after their White colleagues
are promoted. Affiliation with any civil rights organization is grounds for
an automatic denial of promotion.

The suit was filed against Atlanta police chief John Inman and Mayor Sam Massell
as well as the Board of Aldermen, the LEAA and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury,
Nixon appointee, George Shultz. Other high - ranking police department and city
personnel board officials were also named.

Mounting protests, increased community awareness and unity, and this suit,
resulted from efforts vanguarded by the Afro-American Patrolman's

The policeman, Patrolman J. K. Ragland, shot through his own foot as he karate
kicked Brother Comer while shooting him twice. After this, his fellow patrolmen,
Ernest Bolden and W.R. Ball, along with Sergeant S.P. Yerta, assisted Patrolman
J.R. Beane in planting Beane's knife on Brother Comer's dead body to cover up
the slaying. Ragland's official report claimed that he shot in self defense
as Comer suddenly rushed him with the knife.

Detective Graham, driven by a deep suspicion that there was more to it than
the official reports account, uncovered the crime. Ragland broke down and admitted
the truth. All five white officers were dropped from the force.

Chief Inman immediately announced that the department's Internal Investigation
Division dug up the truth, not Graham, "contrary to public opinion".
He then suspended Brother Graham from the A.P.D. The aldermanic police committee
reinstated Brother Graham, but the homicide detective was demoted and assigned
to jail duty. The Black community awaits what becomes of Brother Graham, the
five killers pending court appeal, and the Black officer's suit.

(Marin, California) - The reconvictions here of Earl Gibson and Larry Justice
for assault and murder are clear-cut examples of the inadequacies of American
courts. Tried for the murder of a San Quentin prison guard and the stabbing
of an inmate who is known to be a notorious liar, a "snitch", throughout
the California prison system, Justice and Gibson, both highly respected, leading
political activists at San Quentin will probably receive life sentences.

An examination of the evidence as outlined to THE BLACK PANTHER by the defense
lawyer, Marvin Stender, will illustrate this point.

By interviewing the jurors after the guilty verdict was in, it was clear that
they were incapable of their responsibility, Stender said. Eleven Whites and
one Chicano listened to testimony from 72 witnesses, 3 for the prosecution,
the rest for the defense.

The prosecution's star witness, Herman Johnson, was the center of attention.
Hated throughout the prison system for testifying against the "Soledad
Seven", Johnson knew almost no other inmates because they shunned and ignored
him. When he was stabbed in the presence of hundreds of other prisoners in the
prison yard, he could not identify his attackers. He didn't know any other prison
inmates and had no way of identifying which of the 2,800 inmates in Quentin
had stabbed him. Several guards testified before the court that this was what
Johnson had said at the time.

Two days later, as he lay recovering from his wound, a guard stationed at the
door of his cell for his protection was stabbed to death. It was assumed that
whoever attacked Johnson the first time had come back to finish the job and
the guard was killed when he got in the way.

The state needed scapegoats to pay for this. Larry Justice and Earl Gibson
were picked. The Adult Authority's representatives spread the word on the prison
grapevine that they were looking for a "snitch" to give them an excuse
to prosecute. Herman Johnson, Charles Johnson and Evan Kranjilick stepped forward
to offer their testimony in return for paroles.

Herman Johnson who'd been denied parole following the Soledad Seven case because
the lack of evidence in that trial required the charges be dismissed, suddenly
"realized and remembered" who had attacked him. Herman Johnson received
his parole five days after the guard's death, as soon as he was well enough
to leave. Charles Johnson got out on parole shortly after the grand jury hearing
despite a parole denial a few months before. Evan Kranjilick had to remain,
he had not served long enough. The California Adult Authority was not about
to allow Evan, who'd killed his own mother, out so soon.

Bloody fingerprints found on a window pane were not Larry's or Earl's. The
knife used in the murder was found with fingerprints left in wet blood which
matched neither Larry's nor Earl's. Bloody clothing found at the scene didn't
fit Larry or Earl. Testimony of guards, prison doctors, nurses and other prison
staff all indicated that it was unlikely or impossible that Justice and Gibson
were guilty.

Herman Johnson testified that the bloody knife was thrown from a fourth floor
window. Even the prosecuting attorney conceded that it was impossible for this
to have happened considering the position in which the knife was found. Johnson
also stated that bloody paper towels were thrown into a garbage can by Larry
and were later found by a guard. The guard testified that he found nothing.
The three prosecution witnesses testified to things that were clearly impossible.

The jury explained that may be these three witnesses were "confused",
and convicted Justice and Gibson anyway.

THE BLACK PANTHER has received more information detailing the brutal treatment
and unjust frame-ups prison inmates in Mt. Meigs Medical and Diagnostic Center,
Atmore and Holman State Prisons are subject to. The following article was written
by an "Inmates For Action" reporter in one of these Alabama prisons.

(Montgomery, Alabama) - On April 27, 1973, Brother Larry Williams, a prisoner
at Atmore Prison/Plantation farm was attacked by three racist guards, and in
defense of his life, he stabbed three guards. Such attacks on Black prisoners
are a common and daily occurrence. For defending himself against this vicious
attack on his life. Brother Larry will be tried for assault with intent to murder.

Every human being has the natural right to self-defense. It violates reason
and humanity to expect any sane man to submit docilely to an attack on his life.
Brother Larry, has been constantly harassed and threatened by the racist custodians
because he is proud and because he has been accused of running a detective down
with a car before he was apprehended, convicted and confined in Alabama's (George
Wallace's) prison system.

Brother Larry has been outspoken in the defense of his, and other poor and
oppressed peoples humanity. However, Brother Larry, is only one of the Brothers
who are now awaiting trail on charges that grew out of unprovoked attacks on
their lives by racist, sadistic guards.

On January 24, 1973, Brother Joseph (Joe) Smith, was charged with stabbing
a guard at Holman Prison (Holman Prison is about 2 miles from Atmore Prison.)
And, in 1971, Brother Joe was charged with stabbing two guards. These charges
grew out of guard-provoked incidents.

On March 8, 1973, Brother Charlie Bies, was charged with stabbing a guard at
Atmore Prison. A pack of cowardly, racist guards attacked Brother Charlie and
in the process one of these guards was stabbed.

On three different occasions Brothers Ervin Edwards, Jerome Lowe, Edward Ellis
and the Chairman of the IFA (Inmates For Action), R. Lake, Jr. have been charged
with assaulting guards. These are just some of the more recent incidents involving
situations in which brothers have had to

-- 14 --
physically defend their lives against attacks by guards and
then are prosecuted.

There is a silent but grim struggle being waged within the Alabama Prison system
that is producing many casualties. This struggle needs the support and solidarity
of all poor and oppressed people to expose and correct the situation.

From all over Alabama reports are coming to the IFA of sisters being raped
and beaten in the jails of Alabama by depraved and racist custodians and of
white prisoners being allowed to leave their jail cells and enter the cells
of sisters to rape them. Brothers are likewise being brutalized and degraded
by the jail custodians, and backward white prisoners.

The Chairman of the IFA was scheduled to appear before the U.S. (Southern)
District Court in Mobile, Alabama, May 7, 1973, at 9:00 a.m., for trial of a
suit he has pending against the prison officials. This suit is in regard to
prisoners being subjected to abusive language and being constantly called "boy"
and sworn at by prison custodians, it also refers to guard-provoked incidents
which result in the victimized prisoner being punished.

BLACK CAPITALISM REANALYZED

PART II

Much confusion exists about the current thrust of the Black Panther Party.
This confusion arises in part out of an ignorance about the guiding ideology
of the Party, In BLACK CAPITALISM REANALYZED, Huey P. Newton brilliantly sets
forth fundamental aspects of that ideology through a clear and concise examination
of the Party's role in relation to small Black capitalists within the Black
community. This is the second of a five part series.

REPRINTED FROM BPINS, VOL NO. 19, JUNE 5, 1971

As we focus upon our theoretical analysis of the situation, we can become too
abstract and separate from reality; but the people are the reality -- they are
more in touch with the reality, and most of the time they reluctantly accept
the reality. Then they develop certain defense mechanisms to cope with it and
manipulate it, believing that it will be like this all the time with little
change.

What they don't realize is that it is changing all the time, sometimes more
slowly than at other times, yet the situation is in a constant state of transformation.
And the people lack an ideology, or a system of thinking, which will help them
to analyze the changes. Therefore this leaves another power and other interests
to shape the changes, rather than making the changes subject to the power of
the people.

Therefore it is necessary to develop a system of thinking to analyze things,
so we can find out what to do in order to produce a change in the desired manner
and direction. Panther ideology is based upon dialectical materialism, which
holds that contradictions are the ruling principle of the universe. That is,
all phenomena, all social forces have both a positive and negative quality,
which are constantly struggling with each other for dominance. These opposing
qualities are unified within the same phenomena. It is this unity of the opposites
and their continued struggle which gives motion to matter and maintains the
constant state of transformation which produces change.

We recognize that these opposites have a dominant-subordinate relationship
to each other. A qualitative transformation occurs when there is a sufficient
quantitative increase or decrease in one of these positive and negative or dominant-subordinate
qualities. In the inherent struggle of the opposites, in which one of the qualities
increases while the other decreases, both forces reach a nodal point and there
is a reversal in their dominance. This reversal is a qualitative change.

However, because all phenomena have internal contradictions, a new struggle
begins and it will eventually bring a new reversal. This is the nature of the
constant state of transformation of material phenomena. Our theoretical analysis
of history and the present day has given us a better understanding of the contradictions
in all phenomena.

When we attempt to integrate our theory with our practice, we must do so with
the fullest understanding of this unity of the opposites which gives motion
to matter. What we want to do is develop strategies and programs which use this
understanding in the true interests of the exploited and oppressed communities.
If power is the ability to define phenomena and then make them act in a desired
manner, we must constantly exercise such power in the interests of the people.

First of all we define or identify the positive and negative qualities in all
phenomena in our communities. Secondly, we act to increase the positive side
of these phenomena and decrease the negative, until we transform the situation
by having the positive completely dominate the negative.

This is what revolution is about. Basically, it is a process of struggle between
the old and the new, with the new attempting to gain dominance, while the old
struggles to maintain control. In moving to direct and control the social forces
active in our communities we are guided only by our ideology and the true interests
of the people. We are free of any other controls, because we do not have any
vested interests in the status quo. Our interest is to serve the people by helping
them transform their reality, rather than reluctantly accepting it.

INTERCOMMUNAL NEWS: U.N. COMMITTEE SEEKS ADDED CENSURE OF RHODESIA

Two resolutions on Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) were introduced in the United Nations
Special Committee on Decolonization last week. They are both in response to
reports that British leaders are seeking new ways to make legal the rebel "government"
of white minority leader Ian Smith in Zimbabwe.

One resolution reaffirms the principle that there should be no grant of independence
before majority rule in Zimbabwe. It asks Britain to withhold all attributes
of sovereignty from the white minority regime and to bring about conditions
in which the people exercise their right to self-determination and independence.

This resolution is in support of the demands of the Zimbabwe people for "one
man, one vote". It also supports the Zimbabwe people's demand that the
white minority settler Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) be renounced
by Britain.

The second resolution would have the United Nations Decolonization Committee
deplore Britain's "continued failure to put an end to the illegal racist
minority regime in Zimbabwe", and "strongly condemn" South Africa
and Portugal for their continued support of the repressive Ian Smith regime.
The two resolutions were sponsored by 10 countries; Tanzania, Mali, Sierra Leone,
Ethiopia, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia.

Representatives of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU) and the Zimbabwe
African People's Union (ZAPU) appeared before the Committee and presented evidence
of the increasingly harsh repression being inflicted upon the peoples of Zimbabwe
by the Smith regime. They charged Britain, the United States and other Western
countries with "faint-hearted" support of the trade embargo against
Rhodesia recommended by the United Nations, and urged that sanctions be extended
to South Africa.

Meanwhile, the case of the Rhodesian journalist Peter Niesewand, widely reported
outside the U.S.A., has revealed both the desperation and the fear of the Ian
Smith regime. The 28-year-old white Rhodesian was Salisbury (Rhodesia's capital)
correspondent for the British Broadcasting

-- 14 --
Corporation, the prestigious British daily The Guardian and
other media. After a secret trial, Niesewand was convicted in a Rhodesian court
of publishing information judged helpful to Rhodesia's "enemies",
meaning the Zimbabwe guerrillas.

Among materials left with us by Zimbabwe Brother Kumbirai Kangai, are reprints
of published reports by Peter Niesewand that appeared in The Guardian newspaper.
These reports, did contain detailed information about the armed operations of
ZANU guerrillas in various parts of Zimbabwe, revealing to the world some measure
of the scope and effectiveness of the guerrilla warfare; information the Smith
regime would rather the world not know.

Niesewand's conviction was overturned by an appeal panal of three, on the decision
that the Smith regime had failed to prove the Niesewand reports were, in fact,
useful to Rhodesia's "enemies". That such reports embarrassed Rhodesia
politically did not justify conviction, the appeal court found.

Overturning of the conviction, however, did not guarantee Niesewand's release.
Under Rhodesia's emergency powers he could be held indefinately and the courts
could not force his release. However, last week Niesewand was released on condition
that he leave Rhodesia permanently.

WOUNDED KNEE: U.S. AGREES TO DISCUSS 1868 TREATY

(Rapid City, S.D.) - The people of the Oglala Sioux Nation at Wounded Knee have
succeeded in compelling the U.S. government to agree to discuss the Treaty of
1868, which has been consistently violated since its signing.

This is the major accomplishment of the agreement reached this week between
American Indian Movement (AIM) leaders and U.S. Justice and Interior Department
representatives, if implemented, it represents a victory for justice won by
the Defenders of Wounded Knee.

Norton Tooby of the Wounded Knee Legal Defense Committee located at Rapid City,
told THE BLACK PANTHER on the day the agreement was announced that discussions
on the 1868 treaty are to be held sometime during the third week of May between
representatives of the Oglala Sioux nation and the United States of America.

The agreement also stipulates that the Justice Department will investigate
the puppet tribal government established by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and
prosecute anyone found to have been violating the rights of the Oglala Sioux
people.

In return, the Oglala Sioux Nation agrees to surrender all weapons on Wednesday,
May 9, to representatives of the U.S. government. The U.S. agrees to return
all legal weapons, i.e. those whose ownership can be established, to their owners
within 24 hours after they have been handed over on May 9.

Further, all inhabitants of Wounded Knee are to be screened, finger printed
and definitely identified. Those with warrants already issued against them are
to be taken into custody, transported to Rapid City and arraigned before the
Federal Court here. New indictments may be handed down and new arrests may be
made.

The agreement also stipulates that all parties in the area are to have freedom
of movement throughout the area. However, Mr. Tooby expressed the fear that
of the 180 persons now in Wounded Knee, between 100 and 150 are expected to
be arrested, taken into custody and arraigned before the courts. Their release
will depend on the payment of bail, if bail is imposed.

The agreement allows for a search of Wounded Knee by officials of the U.S.
government to determine if all guns, firearms and ammunition is accounted for.
Mr. Tooby cautioned that his greatest fear was that the government would renege
on its agreement to return the arms to legal owners within the 24 hour period
agreed upon.

Mr. Tooby told THE BLACK PANTHER that his information was not complete because
the negotiations had been underway inside Wounded Knee and he had received his
information in Rapid City by phone from Wounded Knee.

The demand of the Oglala Sioux Nation that the U.S. government agree to discuss
the Treaty of 1868, has been central from the inception of the Wounded Knee
movement. It was

-- 12 --
the U.S. government's insistance that surrender of arms and
submission to arrests preceed any consideration of such a discussion that made
impossible the implementation of the first Wounded Knee agreement.

The fear expressed by Norton Tooby is clearly justified. Defenders and observers
of the Wounded Knee movement should be prepared for some provocation or staged
incident by the enemies of the Wounded Knee movement, that would be used by
the U.S. government to justify its refusal to return the legally owned arms
to the Oglala Sioux Nation defenders.

Just before news of this new agreement broke, the George Jackson People's Free
Health Clinic, a community survival project of the Black Panther Party in Berkeley,
California had forwarded a shipment of medical supplies for the besieged Oglala
Sioux Nation. We urge all friends and supporters of the Oglala Sioux people
to continue their support in all ways for the people of Wounded Knee, the Oglala
Sioux Nation and all Native American people engaged in this noble struggle for
justice and self-determination.

SAFEWAY MEAT FRAUD UNCOVERED

Along with selling poisoned lettuce to the consumer, Safeway Stores Inc. was
recently discoverd to have been willfully and knowingly mislabeling meat cuts,
which has resulted in Safeway consumers being defrauded tens of millions of
dollars annually.

In a recent article, The Consumer and Farm Worker Reporter states that Safeway's
meat cut switch costs consumers $85 million yearly. The publication also informs
us that Safeway has been hit with a $36 million class action lawsuit for the
meat fraud, filed by the Interfaith Committee to Aid Farm Workers, a Los Angeles
based organization with over 200 ministers, priests, rabbis and lay persons
as members. They are supported in their suit by two United States Congressmen
and a California State Senator.

In a press conference, the Rev. Wayne C. Hartmire and Kenneth Doyle, an investigator
for the Consumer Fraud Task Force of the Interfaith Committee, selected several
samples from the mislabled meat cuts they had brought with them. "At a
time when meat prices are at an all time high," Rev. Hartmire said, "Safeway
customers get a double dose of misery. They pay premium prices for their meat
and all too often end up with cuts that are tougher and fatter than Safeway
labels led them to believe they ware purchasing."

Safeway was charged with selling club steaks as T-bones at 10 cents per pound
premium; mislabeling swiss steaks as round steak for an extra profit of ten
cents per pound; and selling beef liver as calf liver, overcharging customers
by 60 to 70 cents per pound.

The Rev. Fred Eysten, Director of the Consumer Fraud Task Force of the Interfaith
Committee, in capsulizing charges against Safeway Stores Inc. said, "…Safeway
has engaged in one of the most glaring, nation - wide consumer frauds ever perpetrated.
They must be stopped."

U.S. / SAIGON VIOLATE PARIS AGREEMENTS

Richard Nixon last week threatened the Vietnamese people with renewed aggression
for alleged violations of the Paris Agreement on vietnam. He did not bother
to detail those alleged violations. But, a statement issued recently by the
Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam carefully
detailed the Saigon regime's blatant violations of that part of the Paris Agreement
that provides for the return of captured and detained civilian personnel.

The statement pointed out that the Saigon administration claims that the number
of detained and captured civilian Vietnamese personnel does not exceed 5,081.
But in fact hundreds of thousands of persons in more than 1,000 public and secret
prisons across South Vietnam are being held by the Thieu regime.

"At present", the statement says, "the Saigon administration
is detaining nearly 10,000 persons in Con Son prison in Thu Duc prison, from
6,000 to 10,000 persons in Tan Hiep prison and 3,000 persons in the National
Police prisons…In addition 60 big provincial prisons are detaining from
1,000 to 3,000 persons each. At present 3,500 inmates are kept in Thua Phu and
Mang Ca jail (Hue)…"

At a recent meeting of the Central Two - Party Joint Military Commission the
representative of the Revolutionary Government stressed in his statement the
urgency of the problem of the refusal of Saigon to return detained civilian
personnel.

Since early February the U.S. has carried out daily bombing raids in Cambodia,
in direct violation of the Paris Agreement. These raids have been some of the
heaviest raids in history of the Indochina war with the U.S. using as many as
120 B-52s per day. Reports from Phnom Penh say that the imprecision in U.S.
bombing in Cambodia is even greater than it was in Vietnam causing high civilian
casualities.

The U.S. has introduced more than 10,000 military advisors and technicians
under the guise of "civilian advisors," in direct violation of the
Paris Agreement. The U.S. suspended mine clearing operations on April 19, even
though the Paris Agreement obligated the U.S. to clear the harbors.

On April 20, the U.S. resumed flying reconnaissance missions over North Vietnam
in what it called a policy decision to violate the agreement in order to put
pressure on North Vietnam.

MEASURE A

A "Yes" vote on Measure A, the "Quake Safe" Municipal Bond
measure on the May 15th ballot, will authorize the issuance and sale of $43
million in bonds to provide for the repair, reconstruction or replacement of
school buildings considered structurally unsafe in the event of an earthquake.
Not only will a "No" vote mean the failure to authorize the bond issuance
and sale, it also will force the transfer of over 23,000 Oakland school children,
thus perpetuating and increasing overcrowded classrooms and negatively affecting
the quality of education within our city.

State law requires all school districts to close all unsafe school buildings
by June 30, 1975. Passage of Measure A will raise to an adequately sound and
safe level, all or portions of three senior high schools, eight junior high
schools, sixteen elementary schools and two special schools. Vote "YES"
on Measure A.

PEOPLE'S PERSPECTIVE

3,4,5 TERMS FOR NIXON?

The Wall St. Journal reports that a newly formed "Citizen's for Nixon"
committee has hired a New York advertising firm to run a campaign to repeal
the 22nd amendment which limits any one person from serving more than two consecutive
terms as President. Their objective: eight more years, or more, for Nixon. The
committee hopes to raise $4 million for the effort. The names of the committee
are top secret.

UNJUST COURTS -- MARTIAL

U.S. District Court Judge David Williams, a Black man, has ordered the Navy
and Marine Corps to immediately release from brigs around the world some 1,500
enlisted men convicted in summary courts-martial who were not permitted counsel.
The judge ordered that courts - martial without defense lawyers being present
was illegal because it violated the right of the accused to counsel. He ordered
that they stop being held.

AUSSIES SNUB RHODESIA

The Australian Post Office has cut off telephone telecommunications and mail
services from the Rhodesian Information Center in Sydney. Postmaster General
Nigel Bowen, who ordered the withdrawal of services, said the decision was taken
in view of Rhodesia's illegal regime. This decision followed an investigation
of the center.

PALESTINIANS REPEL INVADERS

Palestinian commandos said last week they had foiled an Israeli landing attempt
in the Tyre area of south Lebanon. The Israeli attempt to land, six gunboats,
reinforced by two helicopters, took place near the Rashidiya camp for Palestine
refugees and was repelled by heavy commando fire.

TEXAS MAN BRANDED

Johnny Meadows told a district court judge in Dallas, Texas, last week that
Tom Baker, an investigator for the Ector County District Attorney's office,
a former deputy sheriff in Dallas and several other men branded his back with
an outline of the map of Texas and the four initials, C. M.G.S., the first letter
of the last names of four women murder victims. Meadows, who is charged with
the murder of two of the women, testified at a hearing that he had signed statements
after being drugged and coerced by law officers.

ANTIOCH STUDENTS ON STRIKE OVER AID CUTS

(Yellow Springs, Ohio) - Protesting President Nixon's proposed higher education
budget cutbacks aimed at low income and non-white students, Antioch College's
low and middle income financial aid students are presently on strike. All regular
classes, administrative functions and campus activities have been brought to
a halt as the students organize to insure their educational future, seriously
threatened by Nixon's racist cutback program. The proposed fund slashes would
affect 1,100 of 4,400 Antioch students.

Low income students first arrived at Antioch's campus in July, 1970, as part
of the newly conceived New Directions program. Manifested as Antioch's form
of committment to low income and non-white student education, New Directions
was to have provided dental, optical and book funds, along with counseling and
guidance services. New Directions students are from working class backgrounds,
the children of non-professional, industrial, and agricultural workers or the
workers themselves.

Traditional standards would identify them as "high risk" students.
Their ages are not necessarily in the traditional college age group. They are
students who will be agents of "fundamental social change". The first
145 penniless New Directions students found that the program did not live up
to its committment. Supportive services and remedial academic programs were
lacking. The result has been a series of student strikes which have succeeded
in wresting the necessary funds from the administration.

Out of previous struggles of poor students grew the Institute for the Study
of Social Problems, now official strike headquarters. The administration building
is now an educational center dealing with social conditions in the country in
relation to Antioch's situation and with the Nixon cutback crisis. National
figures are being sought to participate in the program. The United Electrical
Workers Local 767, representing the college workers, is honoring all picket
lines.

Continuation of the New Directions is threatened by Nixon's cutbacks. Lack
of a solution to insure fund coverage of cutback areas by Antioch President
James P. Dixon is evidence that low income and non-white education has lost
the originally agreed upon priority.

This statement by the National Publicity Committee for Support is incisive:

"Antioch advertises itself as one of the most progressive institutions
committed to social change. Indeed, in many respects this is true. But, all
too frequently rhetoric outstrips reality. Without doubt, New Directions is
the most substantive of Antioch's progressive programs. It must be preserved.
Social change includes education for all, not only those who can afford it.
Our struggle is only one small part of the struggle that has to be waged to
insure the right of every person to decent, creative lives."

In asking for national support to draw attention to this nationwide problem,
Antioch's striking students hope to communicate and unify with students across
the country, suffering under Nixon's attacks. They also urge students to take
positive actions on their respective campuses. Support can be conveyed by writing
Antioch President James P. Dixon/Jacoby Road/Yellow Springs, Ohio 45387. For
further information contact the National Publicity Committee for Support/Antioch
Student Mail Room/Yellow Springs, Ohio 45387. (513) 767-7331, ext. 588.

SUPPORT THE SAMUEL L. NAPIER INTERCOMMUNAL YOUTH INSTITUTE

The Samuel Napier Intercommunal Youth Institute is a school designed to help
our children think. It is located in the Oakland Bay Area and it points out
through example that other schools have provided only the most basic courses;
courses that have little relevance to the survival of poor people. We are trying
to expand the concept that the whole world is the children's classroom.

The youth at Samuel Napier receive instruction in language arts, mathematics,
science, health, physical education, political education and people's art. All
of these courses are geared to the development of a well-rounded human being.

We need the help of all interested people in making our school run smoothly.
Since its inception in 1970, its enrollment has rapidly increased. We need more
instructors; instructors with everchanging ideas to cope with the everchanging
ideas of the children.

If you have teaching skills and can donate some of your time, please contact
the Black Panther Party at 8501 East 14th Street, Oakland, California; or phone
638-0195. The children, our youth, are our future. Without their growth, we,
as a people, cannot survive.

OAKLAND -- A BASE OF OPERATION!

CORRECTION:

In last week's issue of THE BLACK PANTHER, in the article, "April 17th:
An Election Analysis" (Oakland - A Base of Operation), a precinct map of
the city of Oakland and a graph indicating how voters cast their ballots in
the April 17th Oakland mayoral election appeared.

The map should have been divided in sections, representing different areas
of the city, as was done with the graph. We here print the maps and the graph
as they should have appeared last week.

A comparison of the map and graph will show the voter turn-out in the various
sections and how Oakland citizens voted for the four leading candidates in the
primary election that placed Bobby Seale in the run-off position against incumbent
mayor, John Reading. The final election is to take place May 15th.
